There's one problem I have with it though. Still can't believe my eyes.
"Cottonee" - only appears in the Black version... Really? Are you serious?
For White to get it, someone must pick one up in Black, and give it to White.

I hope for the love of god(s) this was not intentional, because man does it stand out.

I hate to burst your bubble but Reshiram and Zekrom can't be found as shinies without the use of cheating devices. Also, with cottonee, I honestly think you're looking too much into it..unless of course you've overlooked whimsicott's abilities...infiltrator and prankster. :P
I'm being sarcastic of course, why would pokemon be 'racist' on purpose? It's a child-focused game. Don't worry about race-relations in it as it's never specifically mentioned so it's not a problem.
Also, if the game was racist then Lenora wouldn't be a gym leader but maybe an assistant? Then again...I always did find it funny that her gym was underground in a railroad town...

If you don't have a chance of getting Reshiram or Zekrom as shiny, why do they have a shiny sprite? Are you sure there's a 0% chance? I remember in previous games, a friend of mine kept resetting the game OCD style every time a legendary wasn't shiny, until he got a shiny one. I didn't understand how he had the patience. Heh.

About the "Kids Game" thing - they wouldn't get the Cotton reference these days. =P
Plus I think of two Pokemon in particular aren't kid-friendly: Yamask & Litwik (+Evo)
By that, I mean read their Pokedex entries... As a Kid, I knew what ghosts and souls were, and those two+ would've creeped me the hell out at a gullible age.

Semi-Related note... this is the first Pokemon game where a ghost type actually comes out and admits "This used to be a human at one point" right? (Not to mention the whole Michael Vick style battling-monsters morality story thing is kinda deep for "kids")

Yes, we're positive that they cannot be shiny. They, along with event Zorua/Zoroark and Victini cannot be shiny. The reason why they have a shiny sprite is to prevent the game from crashing if someone hacks a shiny version into their game. And as for your friend, all past legendary Pokemon have been able to be shiny. Except those obtained through events, that is.

pm me any reports/questions that you may have
(it may take a couple of days for me to respond, though)

I do not own either black or white version, but through a friend I personally find black version to be more suited for my taste, although i like mascot of pokemon white better. (cough*>_>zekrom) I liked black city more than white forest. plus the fact the fact the techno version music of opelucid city sounds more awesome than the more natural, tame version found in pokemon white.
all in all, my vote goes to black.

I voted for Black because it will be my main game. White will be my side game that I restart on. I prefer Black because I think Reshiram looks more like a dragon than Zekrom, who looks more mechanical.

I think he was merely saying that the third version won't be called Gray as everyone seems to think it will be. I'm not saying I agree with him; I'm just guessing that because he said "the third version is a possibility".
